SPOOL-HOLDER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARIE J. EIDAM, a citizen of the United States, residing at- Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Spool-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in spool holders and is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein- Figure 1 is a plan view with parts cut away; Fig. 2, a section along the line 2 2 of Fig. l; Fig. 3, a side elevation of the device.

Like parts are indicated by the same letter in all the gures.

The flat plate A is provided along one edge with a plurality of upwardly eXtending spring lugs A1 and a. series of like spring lugs A2 parallel with the lugs A1 and located within the surface of the plate. The rods B engaging the holes B2 in the lugs Al A2, carry the spools B3. The holes C form guides for the thread C1 from the spools B3. The holes D beneath the spools B3 permit the operator to grasp the spools from the rear in order to prevent their rotation when this is desirable. The pin cushion E is located in the opening El in the plate A and may be attached to the plate by means of the cords E2 passing through the holes E3. The upwardly extending hooks F upon t-he bot tom of the plate provide a hanger for the scissors F1 or any other useful implement and the upwardly extending hooks F 2 pro` vide a support for the emery bag F3 and pouch Ft. The plate is supported by means of the hook G and chains G1 in the holes G2.

The use and operation of my invention are as follows Itis always desirable when sewing is being done, to havesome means whereby needles, scissors, etc. may be attached to the person or held together upon the machine or any other desirable location. My invention provides means for this,

wherein a plurality of spools of thread are carried together with a pin cushion and scissors-hanger and hanger for emery bag and other materials. I also provide a guide for the thread in order to prevent entanglement of the different threads and provide means whereby the lingers may be used as a brake to prevent the too rapid rotation of the spools and accompanying Waste of thread. I also provide a hook and chains whereby the whole apparatus may be attached to the belt of the operator or to the machine or other work as desired.

l. A spool holding device comprising a fiat plate, upwardly turned spring lugs integral therewith, spool-carrying rods in said lugs, a pin cushion attached to said plate, supporting means at one edge of the plate, a plurality of upwardly turned integral hooks at the opposite edge, a thread guide comprising a hole through the plate adjacent each of the spool-carrying rods and a perforation in the plate beneath each of said rods.

2. A spool holding device comprising a flat plate, upwardly turned spring lugs integral. therewith, spool-carrying rods in said lugs, a pin cushion attached to said plate, supporting means at one edge of the plate, a plurality of upwardly turned integral hooks at the opposite edge, a thread guide comprising a hole through the plate adjacent each of the spool-carrying rods and a perforation in the plate beneath each of said rods, said plate perforated to cont-ain the pin cushion, perforations about such cushion, and means engaging the cushion and said perforations for attaching it to the plate.
